This is the workbench I'm going to build for my shop. It's one of the most amazing benches I've seen in all my looking. There are several woodworkers that have blogs of themselves making their idea of the bench if you look around. Google newfangled workbench. It looks rock solid, is built out of dimensional lumber you can buy at any lumberyard, and could be improved/adapted to your own shop. Hal

Another option is what I did with my Belsaw planer(about 250lbs). Wheels on one end with only about a 1/2" clearance from the floor then made a hand dolley that hooks under the other end. Hook it up and wheel it whever you want it the lower it to the floor. Works quite well on that I don't know why you couldn't adopt the same thing to a bench. The wheels I turned out of some left over UHMW plastic.
